The ingredients are:
  • English muffins (4 muffins, split in halve and toasted makes 4 whole sandwiches, or 8 halves)
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese (4 oz, herb goat cheese, softened)
  • 1 cucumber (cut lengthwise lightly seeded, and sliced or you can use a seedless cucumber)
  • 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • PICKLED RED ONIONS
  • 1 small red onion, thin sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (red wine vinegar you can also use white wine vinegar or cider vinegar)
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Pickled Onions ... This is a quick 10 minute pickle. Add the onions (separate the rings) to a small bowl, along with the vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir to combine. Let them marinate 10 minutes, then drain.

  • Step 2: English Muffins ... I like mine toasted, which is personal preference. I like to take these to the beach, fishing; or, when I travel. I have found that they hold up better when toasted; and, the english muffins are easy to 'pick up' and 'eat' vs other buns or bread. Also, they are easy to find at any local grocery store.

  • Step 3: Cucumber ... You don't need too many cucumber slices for this sandwich; so, I tend to buy the classic cucumber, not a seedless one. Either way, both are fine. But when using a classic cucumber, I usually cut lengthwise, then lightly seed. Then, cut in slices and lay them out on a paper towel to 'dry,' maybe 5 minutes is all. This will prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.

  • Step 4: Sandwich ... Spread 2 tablespoons (1 per side) of the softened goat cheese on both the toasted english muffin halves, and top with the cucumber slices (about 5-7) seasoned with pepper, a few pickled red onion rings, sprouts, and top with the other muffin half.

  • Step 5: Serve ... As I said - these are fantastic served open face, or as a sandwich. Also, they can be served for for lunch, a special luncheon, shower, party, snack or light dinner. Don't forget, these travel well. Perfect for picnics, or for a road trip. Just wrap in parchment paper then foil and add to your cooler.

  • Step 6: And, thin slices of avocado or tomato are also really good added to this; but, personally I like it as is! ENJOY!
